During 2012 the Bozz babies from both his first litter at kennel X-Foot's and our F-litter has achieved a lot in the show rings ... or how about this before 10 months of age (from only 3 different babies);

Great news from the International Dogshow in Stockholm, Stockholm Hundmässa, today!!! Our Bozz daughter, X-Foot's Perm Page, owned & loved by Malin Gustavzon, became Swedish Junior Winner 2012!!!! Page brother, our Bozz son, X-Foot's Perm Pluto, was placed as 3rd best junior male with excellent at the same show. The win for Page also made her qualified for Crufts 2013!

Little Kinga, aka Grand Royal's Flaunty Grace Elliot, entered her first show ever today, "Juleskue", at the Danish Great Dane Club, and made it to 3rd best fawn/brindle female puppy! Judge was Danish Mille Bæk.

Unfortenately we have some bad news to share ... For some reason Astrid has resorbed the babies that we could see at an early ultrasound some weeks ago. X-ray today confirmed that there are no babies left in her belly ... but we will do this mating again during spring 2013.

I have, after careful consideration, decided to stop showing and breeding white Miniature Schnauzers but will possibly have a last litter of white minis during autumn/winter 2013/2014 and mother to that litter will, in that case, be our home bred sweet girl Alba, Grand Royal's Beloved White Sigyn. She is though living at kennel Skäggtorpet now.

Our Bianca, Silfurskugga Eileen White Pearl is, since a year back, out of our breeding program due to severe dental failure in her first litter (our C-litter) and my recommendation is that none of the babies (now 2,5 years old) from that combination will ever be bred from.

It's incredible how time flies ... but our lovely little nutty fawn girl Destiny aka Kemanilo Total Destiny is 2 years today!!! Happy Birthday and lot's of love to her breeder Kelly Nayar at Kemanilo Great Danes in Scottland as well as all her littersibblings in the Kemanilo Total-litter.

The F-litter babies that's still at home, Funky (fawn) & Lottie (brindle) are starting to get big girls now ... aprox 5,5 months old and arround 70 cm (aprox 27,6') at withers both of them ... and waiting to be shipped abroad all the way to Australia in the beginning of next year. Two gorgeous girls in every way!

We are proud to announce that we are expecting puppies to due in late November. Mother to this litter is our lovely Astrid and father is our fantastic Diego, imported from Germany. This mating is a very unique and interesting combination between Scandinavian & partly American top dogs mixed with 50% top quality Euro dogs.

To see the pedigree for this upcomming litter, please visit our site puppies > current. Inqueries are welcome. We export on request!

We are really excited to see what this exclusive combination of Euro/Nordic/American blood lines can give us more than perfect sound temperaments ... Both Astrid and Diego are x-rayed with HD A and they both have correct and complete bites. Diegos heart is also checked clear (ok) with ultrasound. Inbreeding coefficient for this combination is 0,0%.

If you're interested in this combination, please contact me for more info. Pedigree for the litter can be found at our puppy plans-site. We export on request.

A Big Happy Birthday to our B-litter, our very first litter of white Miniature Schnauzers, on their 3rd birthday! Lots of hugs and kisses to Milou, Bakse & Mini from Alba and the rest of us at Grand Royal's.

There is only one little fawn girl in this litter that is still looking for a loving forever home. She's the most stunning little girl and has to go to a show home, otherwise she will stay here. We export on request. Inqueries are welcome.

Our F-litter turned 8 weeks a few days ago and have now started to move to their new loving homes. It's always a bit empty when they go, but it feels good to know they are going to good people who will take very good care of them and some of them will be seen in the show rings in the future as well.

We wish all our puppy buyers the best of luck with their new family members and hope they will have many many years of love, laughs and joy with their new loved ones!

We have welcomed a new little brindle girl to the kennel, directly from Finland - Euro Power Funky Lady - who we will call Delta. Her mother, Cipa, is a girl I have had my eyes on since she was a little baby her self and always have been very fond of. Delta is a very forward and confident little girl who we love very much! Watch out for us when we enter the show ring when that time comes ...

Thank you so much Maija & Jyrki for your hospitality and for letting me have this beautiful little girl.

Our lovely German boy, Diego, has entered his first show here in Sweden, Tvååker Int Dogshow. Unfortenately the weather was awful (total rain just when we entered the ring), but he did very well anyway and got Excellent under judge Pedro Bispo from Portugal who placed him at 4th place in the champion class with a very nice critique.

Our beloved Siri is gone and life will never be the same again ... She should had been 8 years this September, but a large tumor on her liver put an end to that and left us with a big whole in our hearts.

It hurts so much every time a family member has to walk over the rainbow bridge, but this time it even hurts more since Siri really was the world to me - our very special grand old lady. She has now joined her daughter, Embla, and a lot of other beloved ones and became the brightest shining star in the sky. Rest in peace beloved Siri! Run free ... Forever in our hearts.

Time flies and our F-litter is now 6,5 weeks old. The boys are already sold, but there is still 3 (maybe 4) girls of show quality available (both fawn & brindle). For more pics and info on these babies, please visit our puppies - current site. Inqueries are welcome!

It's been a year since we lost our little Siri-daughter, our very special sunshine girl Embla (DOB June 26, 2009) ... She left us way to early, just before her 2nd birthday, and will always have a very special place in our hearts. Run free little sunshine girl.

We welcome a new little white miniature Schnauzer girl in our team! Her name is Chereen White Star Of Rainbowland and she's imported from Poland, bred by Tatiana Figura, and will listen to the name Finah.

Finah is co-owned with Linda Jakobsson at kennel Skäggtorpet and will live there.

Astrid & Bozz babies are here - 8 healthy, strong and beautiful babies was born on the evening/night of May 16th 2012 - 3 brindle males, 3 brindle females & 2 fawn females. Delivery went just fine and they all are doing very well, mum Astrid included. The theme for this litter is the French revolution, suitable since it's our F-litter.

There are still some babies in this litter that is not reserved. We ship abroad. Inqueries are welcome! More info on pedigree, pics etc is to be found on our site Puppies > Current

When we went to Germany in February to pick up Birka I met several very nice dogs at kennel La Esperanza ... but particulary one of them stayed in my mind, a lovely 3 year old fawn boy called Diego ... so when Carsten & Evelin decided to cut down on the number of dogs I just knew I had to have him - and now he's here!

I must be the happiest girl in the world ... cause this fantastic boy has a temperament you can only dream of and, on top of that, a look that beats the most (if you ask me) ... and he's mine! More info and pedigree is to be found on his own site here and you will most likely see him in the showrings arround Sweden this upcoming summer.

Thank you so much Carsten & Evelin for trusting me with your lovely boy!!

Since it showed that Shamrock has cataract in his right eye, his breeder, Maria Gkinala, wanted him to go back to Ireland since I'm not gonna show or breed him here ... and I know that Maria will take really good care of him since he's very special to her, so I'm letting him go back to the green island. A very sad day for us cause we will really miss him a lot ... the little bumble-bee. When returning to Ireland Shamrock will be called Duffy instead, since that's the name Maria called him as a little baby before moving to Sweden. We're very greatful to have had the possibility to get to know him and hope we can go visit some day ... Forever in our hearts!

This weekend we've been out on a trip - to Germany - to pick up our latest edition, a very special little brindle girl that we will call Birka. Her pedigree name is Hanna La Esperanza and she's bred by Carsten Göring in Greven, Germany.

Birkas sire is Joey vom Salzbach and her dam is Carina La Esperanza. She will soon have her own site here.

Thank you Carsten & Evelin for this lovely little girl! Hope we will see you in Sweden soon.

Unfortenately 3 out of 4 puppies in our C-litter of white Miniature Schnauzers has dental failures like undershot, incorrect scissor bites and so on, so for that matter we have now assigned Grand Royal's Cavalier White Lothar aka Herman, to his co-owners since he's not included in our breeding program and we don't want him to ever be bred from. The female, Grand Royal's Cute White Edelweiss aka Tyra, that was out on breeding terms is also assigned to the co-owner as was previously and will hopefully never ever be bred eather since she has a undershot. She is though eye scanned clear on January 25th 2012. The only one from this litter that has been shown officially is the one with correct bite.

Surprisingly it was though only one of the babies in the C-litter that actually had a undershot for the time of delivery, when 8 weeks old, and he's now neutered. The dam of this litter, our Bianca, has correct bite her self and haven't got any more babies with dental failures (our D-litter).

Today is a sad day ... But unfortenately it has shown that Shamrock, when eye examinated today, has a posterior polar cataract on his right eye, in Swedish that's called katarakt bakre polär. He also has crystalline changes on his left eye, but the examiner couldn’t say if it will develop into a cataract as well in time.

As s a responsible breeder, even if the mode of inheritance is unclear, I will herefore never ever let Shamrock be used for breeding.

Naturally there will be a change of plans regarding Astrid and our planned litter. Male to be used instead will be presented later.

Miniature Schnauzer female, aprox 6 months old, is looking for a new loving forever home. Please contact us for more info!

Our cooperation partner in Mini Schnauzers, kennel Skäggtorpets, also have an adult male (white) for rehoming to pet home and a white female puppy that's looking for a home where she can live on breeding terms (fodervärd, på svenska). Preferably not more than 100-150 km from Norrköping. Please contact Linda at Skäggtorpets for more info.

Astrid, Flyyans Anno Attilla, competed in intermediate class at MyDog under judge Günther Ehrenreich from Austria and became 2nd best intermediate bitch with CK. Unfortenately she was unplaced in Best Bitch competition class later, but I'm are very pleased with the result since this was her second in door show ever (first time was in March 2011) and her first show since July last year.
